Mummy bloggers

I have no words to describe how much I love Christmas. From the first appearance of the John Lewis Christmas advert, to the twinkling lights that sparkle throughout the city malls, nothing quite compares to the warm and fuzzy feeling of the festive season. This year is extra special, as it will be my first as a mummy. Therefore I’m determined to make it as magical as possible. To ensure the festive cheer is in abundance, I decided to get some inspiration from my favourite bloggers about their Christmas traditions. Here’s what they had to say…

Like most first-time mum-to-bes, when I found out I was expecting I went through all the usual emotions of joy, fear, elation, fear, delight and well, fear again! It wasn’t that I was scared of becoming a parent, but as any first-time baby bandwagoners will understand, the idea of growing, delivering and then looking after a miniature human can seem a little daunting. As an avid bookworm my way of handling this trepidation has been to get my hands on a range of parenting books. From nitty-gritty texts about pregnancy, to birthing and breastfeeding titles, I’ve looked for the answers from an army of baby experts. Unfortunately the vast majority have either been scary, patronising or both, and none have made me feel more prepared for the arrival of my daughter in January.

So instead I decided to call on Dubai’s best-known parenting bloggers to quiz them about the baby bibles they swear by. Read on for their recommendations.
